Maria by Michelle Moran

emotional informative sad

3.0

A painless way to learn a bit more about the real Maria von Trapp, with some likeable  fictional characters thrown in, though their story lacked the emotional weight of the true one. The writing was competent, not ver distinguished or original, but the author did a good job of incorporating facts into a fictional context. It was sad and somewhat disturbing to learn that the family wasn’t so happy as portrayed, but show business requires sch illusions.
